Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is a common parasitic infestation in humans and often affects children. This disease is caused by head lice, Pediculus humanus var. capitis, an ectoparasite that infests the scalp and hair with the main symptoms being itching and irritation of the scalp. Generally, children who are infested with head lice do not show serious symptoms, but in some children, it can cause problems in the form of sleep disturbances and loss of concentration when studying and this will disrupt the child's growth and development. An orphanage is a place to live with a group of children who are at risk of head lice infestation. This community service activity aims to carry out head and hair examinations, provide management for children who are positively infested with head lice, and provide education for eradicating and preventing this disease to orphanage residents. This activity was successfully carried out at the Air Jamban Village Orphanage, and the incidence of pediculosis capitis was found to be 30.7%. Children who are infested with head lice are given pharmacotherapy treatment in the form of 1% permethrin lotion and non-pharmacotherapy in the form of a wet comb. To prevent this disease, education was carried out in the form of counseling and an increase in the knowledge of the orphanage residents was obtained before and after the education. It is hoped that this activity can improve the health status of orphanage residents.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is an infestation of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) with symptoms of itching on the head. Although it is not fatal, pediculosis capitis can interfere with daily activities, especially disrupting children's concentration and disrupting sleep quality. Head lice often affect school-aged children and people who have poor personal hygiene. An orphanage is a place where a group of children live together and is a place that is at risk of parasitic infections. This activity aims to carry out examinations for head lice to determine the incidence of pediculosis capitis, provide treatment to infested children and provide health education such as counseling and training to prevent in the context of eradicating pediculosis capitis in orphanages. This community service activity occurred at the Baiturrahmah Orphanage, Rimbo Panjang Village, Kampar Regency, Riau Province. The target audience is an orphanage, totaling 31 people, consisting of 14 (45.2%) girsl and 17 (54.8%) boys. At this activity, it was found that all the girls were infested with head lice and no boys were infected with Pediculus humanus capitis. Infected children are treated with 1% permethrin. In this activity, education was also provided to orphanage children and administrators about Pediculosis capitis including causes, clinical symptoms, treatment, prevention and eradication of infection. Each child is also given a serit comb, one child one serit comb. It is hoped that the treatment and education that has been provided can cure these diseases and improve the level of public health.
